Feel-Good Friday: "Where's the Beef?" Edition

A POTATUS #Truism - Pudding Brains of a Feather Flock Together

Three days after screaming at her fellow ABC co-hosts to shut up and get behind President Joe Biden because he’s “the candidate” for Democrats‚ staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) was so disturbed by the special counsel’s report about Biden’s failing mental faculties that she hatched a plot to have Democrats ditch him at the convention and install California Governor Gavin Newsom in his place. Following two segments of discussion about the report and Biden’s embarrassing press conference about his mental acuity‚ Hostin announced “there is an off-ramp here” that they “need to think about” going forward: “Once all of the delegates are received‚ the DNC will be certifying the delegates‚ right? And the count and Gavin Newsom can be swapped out if Joe Biden decides to step aside.” Faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin jumped in to add “Or another candidate.” “It can be done. I think it’s important the public knows‚” she proclaimed. “I don't think Kamala Harris will be so happy about that and I think the black community might turn‚” moderator Joy Behar pushed back. Talk of ditching Biden triggered faux conservative Ana Navarro. “I don’t know how many times I have to say this. This is a binary choice between evil and good! Between moral and amoral! An effective president and an ineffective president! A compassionate‚ kind man and an egotistical narcissist! That's the binary choice!” she screamed. But before Hostin and Farah Griffin floated their secession machination‚ the rest of the cast tried desperately to defend Biden and downplay this cognitive decline. Near the top of the show‚ Behar insisted it was desirable for Biden to forget when his son Beau died. “And‚ by the way‚ before I continue with this. Why would he want to remember the day that his son died? Why? You want to block that out of your head. You would have to remember when he was alive‚” she chided Biden’s critics. Her argument made no sense given how often Biden brings up Beau.     Behar also tried to write off Biden confusing Mexico and Egypt as just him “mix[ing] up the names of a couple of people. Seemingly thinking that the rest of the panel would agree with her that it was no big deal‚ she was surprised when Hostin showed grave concern and that the names were so dissimilar (Click “expand”): BEHAR: How big of a problem is this going to be going forward in this election‚ for Biden? HOSTIN: I think it's significant‚ actually. BEHAR: You do? HOSTIN: You know‚ to mix up the president of Egypt with the president of Mexico because his name sounds like si si‚ that's bizarre. BEHAR: What are the two names? FARAH GRIFFIN: Obrador. Sisi and Obrador. It’s not super close. HOSTIN: They're pretty different. Behar proposed that the way Biden “took on” Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy was a sign that he was mentally sharp. “But he took on Doocy. He has a sense of humor. He knows when to hit back. He's not in the dementia or anything. He’s got it‚” she touted. The special counsel’s interviews with Biden were only four months ago‚ in October‚ and Navarro’s defense of Biden’s inability to recall when Beau died was to argue that his memory was excellent over 20 years ago when they first met; and he told her the date his first wife and daughter died: So‚ let me say a couple of things. First of all‚ as you to and I told you guys‚ I've known Joe Biden for over 20 years. And I remember one of the first times that I met Joe Biden and I invited him to an event in Miami in December. And he said to me‚ “I can't do it that day because that day is the day my wife and my daughter died‚ and every day that year I gather myself and I'm alone with my thoughts.” Claiming she wasn’t trying to “explain the gaffe away‚” co-host Sara Haines tried to explain away the gaffe as just Biden misspeaking: HAINES: Not to explain the gaffe away‚ but I'd be more concerned if they followed up and said‚ “Sisi‚ who is he” and he said “Oh‚ Egypt” and caught himself. Because the misspeak thing happens all the time. BEHAR: To everybody. HAINES: Every single person “I remember sitting at this table and once confusing South Korea and North Korea. I know better if you ask me‚” she recalled. Yeah‚ it's totally the same thing‚ Sara. The transcript is below.

Why? You want to block that out of your head. You would have to remember when he was alive. ANA NAVARRO: No-- BEHAR: But wait‚ hold on. The fact is getting -- that fact is getting completely buried because‚ later on in the press conference‚ he talked about being interrogated for hours by the special counsel at the same time he was dealing with an international crisis in Gaza; and he flubbed it when he brought up Egyptian President el Sisi. Watch. [Cuts to video] PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: initially‚ the president of Mexico‚ El-Sisi did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in. I talked to him. I convinced him to open the gate. [Cuts back to live] BEHAR: Okay. So‚ he mixed up the names of a couple of people. How big of a problem is this going to be going forward in this election‚ for Biden. SUNNY HOSTIN: I think it's significant‚ actually. BEHAR: You do? HOSTIN: You know‚ to mix up the president of Egypt with the president of Mexico because his name sounds like si si‚ that's bizarre. BEHAR: What are the two names? ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: Obrador. Sisi and Obrador. It’s not super close. HOSTIN: They're pretty different. And the other thing is‚ what the report said was he could not remember when he was the vice president. He gave out‚ you know‚ certain dates that were not in line when he was the vice president. It also says that his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so very important to him. And so you already now have people concerned about his age. I don't think people were as concerned about his mental acuity‚ though. And now they are. So‚ I think this is going to be problematic. BEHAR: He answered those questions quite clearly as far as I could tell. HOSTIN: Not when he mixed up Mexico and Egypt. BEHAR: But he took on Doocy. He has a sense of humor. He knows when to hit back. He's not in the dementia or anything. He’s got it. (…) 11:07:08 a.m. Eastern NAVARRO: So‚ let me say a couple of things. First of all‚ as you to and I told you guys‚ I've known Joe Biden for over 20 years. And I remember one of the first times that I met Joe Biden and I invited him to an event in Miami in December. And he said to me‚ “I can't do it that day because that day is the day my wife and my daughter died and every day that year I gather myself and I'm alone with my thoughts.” And so that's to your question of why he remembers it. I guarantee you every parent who has lost a child remembers exactly when that day happened. I know this because my parents lost my brother. (…) 11:15:04 a.m. Eastern SARA HAINES: Not to explain the gaffe away‚ but I'd be more concerned if they followed up and said‚ “Sisi‚ who is he” and he said “oh‚ Egypt” and caught himself. Because the misspeak thing happens all the time. BEHAR: To everybody. HAINES: Every single person -- I remember sitting at this table and once confusing South Korea and North Korea. I know better if you ask me. HOSTIN: This is the president of the United States and describe them as a sympathetic‚ well-meaning‚ elderly man with a poor memory. (…) 11:17:11 a.m. Eastern HOSTIN: But there is an off-ramp here. And I think one of the off-ramps we need to think about is: once all of the delegates are received‚ the DNC will be certifying the delegates‚ right? And the count and Gavin Newsom can be swapped out if Joe Biden decides to step aside. FARAH GRIFFIN: Or another candidate. It can be done. I think it’s important the public knows. HOSTIN: I think Gavin Newsom can win. BEHAR: I know‚ I don't think Kamala Harris will be so happy about that and I think the black community might turn. HOSTIN: I don’t think they’re going turn if she remains the vice president of the United states. NAVARRO: Kamala Harris is never going to betray Joe Biden in that way. The Democratic Party is never going to betray Joe Biden that way. FARAH GRIFFIN: But it would be done in coordination if he’s putting the good of the country first. If he risks losing to Donald Trump that is reason enough – [Crosstalk] NAVARRO: I don’t know how many times I have to say this. This is a binary choice between evil and good! BEHAR: That's right. NAVARRO: Between moral and amoral! An effective president and ineffective president! FARAH GRIFFIN: And that's why you need the best fighter. NAVARRO: A compassionate‚ kind man and an egotistical narcissist! That's the binary choice!

Special counsel Robert Hur has released a report that has many questioning President Biden’s mental state. According to the report from the Justice Department‚ it was found that Biden had willfully retained classified materials as a private citizen — but there will be no charges filed against him. One of the reasons for that decision is that Biden is allegedly losing his memory. “He’s basically unfit for trial‚” Pat Gray comments‚ adding‚ “and apparently‚ you have to be a lot sharper for trial than you do to be president of the United States of America.” Biden‚ of course‚ strongly denied this in a press conference‚ but then forgot where his son Beau got a rosary and mixed up the presidents of Egypt and Mexico. When Biden tried to defend what he had done with the classified documents‚ he then mixed up the definitions of classified and private. “So what I was referring to‚ I said classified‚ I should have said it should be private because it was a contact between the president and the vice president‚” Biden said in the press conference after an angry outburst. “You don’t know the difference between classified and private‚ really? That’s a problem too‚” Gray laughs. “Man‚ does he get angry at the drop of a hat‚” he adds. Jeffy agrees with Gray‚ noting that his anger could mean something else. “It’s almost as if that’s a symptom of something‚” he says. Biden then went on to blame his staff for mishandling classified documents when a reporter asked if he takes responsibility for “being careless with classified material.” “I take responsibility for not having seen exactly what my staff was doing‚” Biden responded. “He just threw his staff under the bus‚” Gray says‚ shocked.

Mutant wolves roaming the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have developed cancer-resilient genomes that could hold the key to developing a cure for cancer in humans. High radiation levels have plagued the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone since the nuclear reactor exploded in 1986. Humans have abandoned the 1‚000-square-mile Chernobyl Exclusion Zone‚ allowing wildlife to reclaim the area in the 38 years since the worst nuclear disaster in history.Despite exposure to the cancer-causing radiation‚ the irradiated wolves appear to have developed protective mutations that make them resilient to cancer.Cara Love‚ an evolutionary biologist and ecotoxicologist with Shane Campbell-Staton’s lab at Princeton University‚ has been studying the mutant wolves of the CEZ for a decade. In 2014‚ Love and her colleagues took blood samples of the wolves in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone to understand how the animals reacted to the cancer-causing radiation. The scientists also fitted the wolves with radio collars to track their locations and their radiation exposure."We get real-time measurements of where they are and how much [radiation] they are exposed to‚” Love said in a press release.The research showed that wolves in the CEZ are exposed to upward of 11.28 millirem of radiation every single day for their entire lives — over six times the legal limit for human workers.The researchers discovered that the mutant wolves have altered immune systems — similar to cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment. Genetic analysis suggests that parts of the wolves’ genome have developed some resilience to cancer. Furthermore‚ there was a "promising" discovery that specific regions of the wolf genome appear to be resilient to increased cancer risk."Most human research has found mutations increasing cancer risk (like BRCA does with breast cancer)‚ but Love's work hopes to identify protective mutations that increase the odds of surviving cancer‚" the news release said. The New York Post reported‚ "The findings are especially valuable as scientists have learned that canines fight off cancer more similarly to the way humans do than lab rats."Love's research has been severely hampered‚ and her team hasn't returned to the CEZ because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war between Russia and Ukraine. Love's research was presented last month at the Annual Meeting of the Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology’s Annual Meeting in Seattle‚ Washington.The radiation from the nuclear blast may have also altered the DNA of dogs in the CEZ. Last year‚ scientists from the University of South Carolina and the National Human Genome Research Institute examined the DNA of 302 feral dogs. The study said the feral dogs living near the Chernobyl power plant showed distinct genetic differences from dogs living 10 miles away from the disaster site. A 2011 study found that birds in the CEZ had smaller brains. Like Blaze News? Circumvent the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
